Former mixed martial arts figure, Conor McGregor has been arrested on suspicion of attempted sexual assault and indecent exposure in Corsica, according to French media reports.
A spokesman for the retired mixed martial arts star told AFP news agency that the Irishman “vigorously denies any allegations of misbehavior.”
The 32-year-old former featherweight and lightweight champion was arrested Thursday and released on Saturday, the French news site 20 Minutes reported.
Emmanuelle Ramon, McGregor’s attorney, has said her client was “released before the legal end of police custody and without any judicial review.”
In a statement sent to AFP, the Prosecutor’s Office said: “Following a complaint filed on September 10 in which he denounced events that could be classified as attempted sexual assault and sexual exhibition, Mr. Conor Anthony Mac Gregor (sic) was subject to a hearing by the gendarmerie services “.
The statement did not give details of the former combatant’s alleged crimes.
McGregor, who retired from mixed martial arts for the third time in four years in June, was fined 1,000 euros (£ 925) last year after being convicted of beating a man in a Dublin pub.
He was previously charged with three counts of battery and one count of criminal mischief after police said he attacked a charter bus in New York, carrying UFC fighters in April 2018.
